Printing Test Labels
The printer can print a variety of test print labels that provide you with
information about the printer configuration and the quality of the
printing.
To print a test label
1 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2 Press and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the printer.
The printer prints a hardware configuration label and then enters Data
Line Print mode.
3 Set the DIP switches to print the test label of your choice: software,
print quality, or pitch. Refer to the Test and Service Mode DIP Switch
Settings illustration on page 57 for the correct settings.
4 Hold the Feed/Pause button down until the printer starts printing.
The printer begins printing out the test label immediately.
5 Exit Test and Service mode by turning the printer off and returning all
DIP switches to their original settings.
Using Data Line Print
Use Data Line Print mode to troubleshoot communication between the
printer and the host and to test the operation of the printer. When the
printer is in Data Line Print mode, it prints out all downloaded data with
the hexadecimal equivalent directly underneath it. Hold the Feed/Pause
button down to momentarily suspend the test. Press the Feed/Pause
button longer to transmit the firmware program and version number to
the host.
To enter Data Line Print mode
1 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position.
2 Press down and hold the Feed/Pause button while turning on the
printer.
The hardware configuration test label prints out. You are now in Data
Line Print mode.
Resetting the Memory on Your Printer
Use memory reset if you want to return your printer to its default
configuration or if you need to increase the amount of memory available in
your printer. You can also use memory reset to clear pages and formats,
user-defined characters and fonts, configurations, tables, or all of these
parameters.
